The Deluxe rooms deliver the full program in a single space: floor-to-ceiling windows, city or river views, sand-toned veined marble bathrooms with rainfall shower and separate soaking tub. The RoomBar is a reimagining of the minibar: alongside the expected offerings, a full cabinet of supplements, Moon Juice golden lattes, kombucha, quinoa bites, and turmeric soda. A yoga mat, sweat bands, and blocks are provided in every room. Bath products are Grown Alchemist — the same brand as in Equinox's fitness clubs, reformulated here in two versions: a morning body wash designed to stimulate, an evening formulation designed to relax. The in-room video library offers guided AM and PM rituals — movement, breathwork, meditation — streamed on a 55-inch Apple TV screen. A Corner Suite with views of The Vessel allows guests to contemplate Thomas Heatherwick's bronze sculpture from the soaking tub. The in-room dining menu — including both filet mignon and golden lattes — imposes no logic of deprivation.

The Equinox club at Hudson Yards is the largest ever built in the network — 60,000 square feet designed by Joyce Wang Studio to "convey the power of motion as a series of unfolding spaces." The reception area features a dynamic colliding wood-plank ceiling pattern and stretched glossy-black foil panels. The twisted steel details on the interior staircase directly reference the active rail lines beneath the building's structural slabs. The strength and cardio floors face the Hudson through panoramic windows. The indoor 25-yard pool is saltwater, flanked by hot and cold plunge pools. The heated outdoor leisure pool, on the terrace, offers a direct view of The Vessel and the river — the largest outdoor hotel pool in Manhattan. A SoulCycle studio occupies its own space at ground level. Group classes cover yoga, Pilates, barre, HIIT, and Equinox-exclusive formats. Access is included in every stay.

The spa is separated from the club by its own changing rooms and relaxation lounge — private pods facing the Hudson, framed in wood and glass. The treatment menu is organized around recovery as technology: cryotherapy, MLX I3DOME far infrared detox, the Wave Table — an immersive sound therapy experience that produces the equivalent of three hours of sleep in thirty minutes through guided vibration and breathwork — and NutriDrip IV therapy available in morning clarity or evening relaxation formulations. Aesthetic treatments include Biologique Recherche and Augustinus Bader facials, lymphatic drainage, microneedling, and LED light therapy. The Art + Science of Sleep package — a two-night dedicated stay — combines two Wave Table sessions, two cryotherapy treatments, and a full circadian AM/PM program. For five-night stays, a personal sleep coach is available for a complete health assessment. The hair salon — a jewel-box enclosure with curved glass doors and turned-timber pillows — is the most unexpected object in the building.

Electric Lemon is a concept by Stephen Starr and STARR Group — the restaurateur behind Pastis and Buddakan — conceived in collaboration with Equinox's Health Advisory Board. The restaurant occupies the 24th floor with an 8,000 square-foot outdoor terrace overlooking the river and Manhattan skyline, anchored by an outdoor reflecting pool and a human figure sculpture by Jaume Plensa. The menu follows the seasons and the supply chains: prawns over heirloom rice, ginger-spiked crab, vegetables as main event, a cocktail list that reads like a farmers' market inventory. Broken Coconut, on the club terrace level, offers a fast-casual menu of salads, bowls, tacos, smoothies, and dairy-free frozen yogurt — orderable from a lounger at the outdoor pool. In-room dining is considered by several reviewers to be the finest moment of the stay: the menu operates without restriction. One may order the filet mignon. The golden latte arrives just as quickly.

The tower at 35 Hudson Yards is one of the most slender in the development — 92 stories in limestone and glass designed by David Childs of SOM, the firm that also produced One World Trade Center. Its undulating facade catches the Hudson light differently depending on the hour. The hotel interiors are by David Rockwell and Rockwell Group — the same team behind Equinox's fitness clubs — in a vocabulary of monochromatic grays, sand-toned marble, wood, and steel that translates the aesthetic of the fitness club into a hotel environment without thickening it. The exterior spaces are by Ken Smith Workshop. The spa and club are by Joyce Wang Studio, whose twisted steel staircase details — a direct reference to the active rail lines below the load-bearing slabs — are the most architecturally precise element in the building. The structure rests on slabs positioned between live Penn Station tracks. The twisted steel is a quotation of what the floor conceals.

The hotel anchors a neighborhood that did not exist a decade ago. Hudson Yards opened in 2019 around a central plaza dominated by The Vessel — Thomas Heatherwick's interactive bronze sculpture, 2,500 interlocking steps, visible from the east-facing rooms and from the outdoor pool. The Shed, the deployable-structure arts center designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, programs exhibitions and performances five minutes away. The High Line, the elevated park along the former West Side Line rail tracks, begins fifteen minutes on foot and connects the neighborhood to Chelsea, the Dia Art Foundation, and the 10th Avenue galleries. Hudson River Park runs along the waterfront at the neighborhood's base. Equinox offers a dedicated fitness program on The Vessel itself — exclusive vertical sprint sessions. Thomas Heatherwick's sculpture becomes a cardio apparatus. This is entirely consistent with everything else.
